furry creatures, alive and not

we met quite a lot of furry creatures, some funny, cute and friendly, some quite strange. this here is moose (what a name for a nice feline!) moose lives in the same house with certain someone's cousin and his family and 3 dogs...







he is dante and the biggest german shepard i have ever seen, positively, but such a mellow personality. look at the size of his paws!







sorry beagles, but i can't tell you apart. one here with dante is either jessie or brutus (i never got the story as to why brutus)







now this i know, it's jessie. she gave such good poses, i think i took a dozen pics of her







that's jessie in the back, they are mother and son







all of the three dogs didn't seem to mind the short boat trip from the cottage island to mainland







not furry and not alive, but cute







these bears were on display in bass pro store we visited near toronto. i never knew anything like that store existed, but if you're an outdoorsy person, there is anything you might ever need and then some. certain someone was like a kid in candyland there. we didn't know the little boy who is partially in the picture, but he loved to pose

certain someone's cousins told that they have a bear problem at the dump near their cottage, there might be as many as a dozen at one time. they feed on scraps that people throw away in their garbage






almost didn't notice the bison and wolves up there







this picture is nothing like the normal carley, she is very playfull...







see?







meet frank...one huge moose. obviously, certain someone's cousins hunt







i don't think i had ever seen a black squirrel before, ours are reddish brown
